A modest iron skeleton tower was erected, pyramidal in form with a wooden, corrugated iron-sheathed square shaft at its center to house the lamp and the access stairway.

A keeper's house was built nearby, connected to the light by a brick walk.

Other than that the light has passed a quiet life, punctuated only by automation in 1929 and the demolition of the keeper's house.
